2016 Spring Home Tour - My Home

I am so excited you're here for the beginning of our 2016 Spring Home Tour. We will have 6 homes each day for the next 5 days, so I hope you will mark your calendar and come back each day to see all 30 of these gorgeous tours.

I am starting things off with my home. Welcome, come on in and I'll show you around. We'll start off with the living room since it is right inside the door. I've been on a bit of a yellow kick lately, it just seems so cheerful. I'm still into the checks too, not sure if they are Farmhouse French or Country Farmhouse, but I am loving them.

I went really simple with my vignettes, the coffee table has a swan, some ivy and a couple of candles. The tray holds some of my favorite decor books.

By mixing a lot of different patterns, I think it gives the simple black and yellow color scheme a ton of interest & personality.

I carried the yellow over into the dining area with some pretty spring buds.

Love love love the yellow and black! (And of course love the checks. :) ) And the pop of orange in your bedroom is just perfect. Thank you so much of getting this tour started!! Looking forward to touring everyone's homes this season!

Bright, Cheerful, and Fresh are words that come to mind when I see your beautiful tour!! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!! I love your use of Yellow!! It is an underused color these days and I think you did a fantastic job integrating it into your home! xox, Emily

Oh Marty I adore all of your pops of yellow and orange! You have such an elegant style really!!! That mirror in your bedroom is stunning...I don't think I have ever seen a mirror like that one.

Your home looks beautiful for Spring. I love all your subtle touches witho overdoing the bunny situation, but in the lovely centerpiece for the pretty table setting with yellow too. Yes, black and yellow is such an elegant combo, I remember it used to be Carolina Herrera's style.Have a great Holy week.FABBY
